video card driver is up to date. tried turning settings down and still lags.
I have more than the recommended specs are. my friend has this game with a PC with a bit worse specs and can run without any lag.
thanks everybody!

I brought this game recently on Steam and I also have game lag, I previously thought it was my GPU but after thorough investigation, I found out that it was because I have a 6 core CPU and this game is not designed for modern Multicore or Multi threading, you may all be having the same sort of problem.

If the Developers were to make a Multicore and Multi Threading patch for the Retail and STEAM version then the game would probably work much better..

Hopefully the Developers see this and Act upon it and Hopefully it reassures you that your computers are as perfect as you want..
